Abstract
An ozone and/or hydroxyl laundry system that injects ozone and/or hydroxyls into the chemical injection system in order to allow the system to inject ozone and/or hydroxyls as other cleaning chemicals are injected into the washer. This allows ozone and/or hydroxyls to be injected through the wash cycle rather than just during the initial fill phase and additional avoids the expense and maintenance of adding ozone and/or hydroxyls recirculation plumping to an ozone and/or hydroxyls laundry system. Accordingly, ozone and/or hydroxyl levels may be maintained at superior levels throughout the wash cycle.
Claims19
A hydroxyl laundry chemical injection system comprising:
- a chemical container;
- a chemical pump in fluid communication with the chemical container;
- a flush manifold in fluid communication with the chemical pump;
- a flush manifold output in fluid communication with a wash drum for a washing machine;
- a chemical water supply line in fluid communication with the flush manifold;
- a hydroxyl gas generator;
- and
- a hydroxyl gas introducer in gaseous communication with the hydroxyl gas generator and also in fluid communication with either the chemical water supply line or the flush manifold output and configured to introduce hydroxyl gas into the chemical water supply line or the flush manifold output prior to flowing into the wash drum.
A hydroxyl laundry chemical injection system comprising:
- a chemical line in fluid communication with a wash drum for a washing machine, the chemical line comprising a chemical water supply line and a valve, wherein the valve is configured to control the flow of water from the chemical water supply line to the wash drum;
- a water fill line in fluid communication with the wash drum comprising a fill water supply line;
- a hydroxyl gas generator;
- and
- a hydroxyl gas introducer in fluid communication with the hydroxyl gas generated and placed upstream from the valve and configured to introduce hydroxyl gas into the chemical line.
A hydroxyl laundry system comprising:
- a wash drum;
- a water fill line in fluid communication with the wash drum;
- a chemical line in fluid communication with the wash drum;
- and
- a hydroxyl gas generator configured to introduce hydroxyl gas into the fluid within the chemical line prior to dispensing in the wash drum.
